Can you use this to make almond flour as a wheat flour substitute?

I bought this for my mother, but after looking at it, it really is a nut chopper. I would get an actual mill for that. Granted, I don't own it, nor have I used hers, but I just don't think the blades are going to make a fine grind, just chop.

Hi, as an experienced baker, I would advise this way. You can not use bread flour for everything. It is only for bread/bagels etc. Anything that needs high protein/high gluten which equals chew. I imagine you could use it for sauces, but I don't. I use Wondra for sauces. I use GREAT RIVER MILLING's whole wheat pastry flour for baked goods such as cookies, cakes, nut breads and it works BEAUTIFULLY, you can not even tell it is WW flour. If you have kids, they will never know any different. I don't think I've used their regular wheat. I did buy some WW Bread flour that I did not realize had part of the bran removed, but I will not buy again as my customers want Whole Wheat. Hi, as an experienced baker, I would advise this way.

To answer it simply, No! since this product contains no gluten,therefore not suitable to replace the all purpose flour for baking. However depending on bow confident you are with baking, in some recipes you can substitute a small amount of regular all purpose flour with the almond meal/flour. I use this product for French macaroon and baklava. I hope this is helpful.

Actually I use the Hard White Wheat berries to make my flour and it has worked great for making bread. I will have to try the soft white wheat berries for biscuits and such.

I have not tried using it in place of flour. We use it like Bisquick, for biscuits and pancakes.I would imagine it would work. You may have to adjust the amount of liquid though, sometimes it's a bit sticky

Yes, if you have the equipment to grind flour, likely you could. It's already very fine shreds and is dry, not sticky. But why don't you just order the "Let's do organic coconut flour"?

The term 'meal' and 'flour' are used interchangeably. Technically, almond 'flour' doesn't exist but it is used in low carb or gluten free recipes as a flour substitute (e.g. making a crust for a pie). Flour or meal...it's just finely ground almonds.

You can use it in place of flour for low-fat, low-calorie, low-glycemic baking. I have specific recipes that call for it. It has no flavor of its own, so it carries the other flavors of your recipe.

When I made cookies with this flour they reminded me of marzipan a bit. I'd say it tastes more like almonds than smells like almonds but this is definitely identifiable as a nut flour vs wheat flour. I think it's very delicious and has a light flavor of almonds, not overwhelming at all.

I don't really taste or smell almond in the baked goods I've used this flour for. If I wanted my baked good to taste of almonds, I would add almond extract, Amaretto, marzipan or some such to infuse the flavor throughout the finished product.

I haven't tried this but I am reluctant to suggest it. I use a limited amount of oat fiber in my recipes and mix it with other flours.

No but I was able to use online recipes. As a substitute for flour you may use chick peas

I don't think it would be a good flour replacement. I use it in smoothies or desserts. It's not a grain.

Yes. This product can be used with measures equivalent to other flour. It is an excellent substitute.

It all depends on your recipe. I usually find a recipe that calls for almond flour rather than just substitute it myself as a direct replacement for flour.

I have ground almonds to make a pastry crust. It didn't come out super fine but was adequate for my purpose. I think I'd depend on how fine you need it.

I checked the package and said can be used to replace flour in quick breads which would mean no eggs or yeast. So I doubt that would work. I hope that helps. Its an awesome GF flour mix though, I use it chocolate chip cookies, banana bread and its awesome!
